Derek Elliston Michael Malcolm (12 May 1932 – 15 July 2023) was an English film critic and historian.[1]
Early life [ edit ]
Derek Elliston Michael Malcolm was born on 12 May 1932.[2] He was the son of Douglas Malcolm (died 1967) and Dorothy Vera (died 1964; née Elliston-Taylor),[3]
Malcolm was educated at Eton College and Merton College , Oxford .[4] As a child, he expressed an interest in film, often going to the newsreel cinema on Victoria station .[5]
Malcolm worked for several decades as a film critic for The Guardian , having previously been an amateur National Hunt jockey , where he had 13 victories, then an actor, and the paper's first horse racing correspondent.[1] [6] In 1977, he was a member of the jury at the 27th Berlin International Film Festival .[7]
Malcolm defended the "video nasty " Nightmare (1981) during an obscenity trial and expressed disappointment over the ruling against the distributors.[6] [8] In the mid-1980s he was host of The Film Club on BBC2 , which was dedicated to art house films,[1] and was director of the London Film Festival for several years.[6]
After leaving The Guardian in 2000, Malcolm published his final series of articles, The Century of Films , in which he discussed films he admired from his favourite directors from around the world. He became chief film critic for the Evening Standard , before being replaced in 2009 by novelist Andrew O'Hagan .[9] He still contributed film reviews for the newspaper, but it emerged in July 2013 that his contribution to the title was to be reduced further.[10]
In 2008, Malcolm was a member of the jury at the 30th Moscow International Film Festival .[11]
Malcolm was president of the British Federation of Film Societies and the International Film Critics' Circle and the honorary president of the International Federation of Film Critics . In 2003, he published an autobiographical book, Family Secrets , which recounts how in 1917 his father shot his mother's lover dead, but was found not guilty of murder.[6] [12] [13]
Personal life [ edit ]
Malcolm was married to the journalist and author Sarah Gristwood from 1994 until his death.[14]
Malcolm died from heart and lung failure at his home in Deal, Kent , on 15 July 2023, at the age of 91.[1]
